Colle di Val d'Elsa - all beaches

21st July 2023 We visited this beach as tourists aware that it was a private beach and paid 20 euros to rent a table, two loungers and a parasol for the day. We were placed at table number 15. During out stay we were robbed. Our bank cards, 50 euros, 30 pounds in sterling and our two mobile phones were stolen = someone at the private beach opened our rucksack and stole our property causing us anguish and distress as were tourists stranded in Italy and knew no one. We had saved hard for the trip over many years and it was destroyed that day in one go. Thieves operate everywhere that much we know and thieves stole property belonging to us causing us to have to return to the United Kingdom that day. I have carried out this review to warn others that we were targeted and put through this misery and I have a responsibility to notify the resort owners and those that visit it. What a shame that low lives operate here. A police report was made immediately.

This location has captured our hearts. The cost of 27€ for a pair of sun beds with shade is reasonable. The drinks are priced fairly, although the snacks may be a bit costly. Additionally, there is a complimentary water source for dogs. Showers are available for a mere 50 cents.

Wow

The prime feature of this eatery is its location, which is undoubtedly stunning. Although the food and service are acceptable, they tend to be on the expensive side.

This is an amazing beach, but it's best to avoid visiting during July and August. To access the beach, you need to book online ahead of time, and the booking page allows you to reserve your spot within 72 hours of your visit. The car park costs 10 euros, and it's 1 euro per person. There are no food or services available on the beach, so you'll need to bring your own food and plenty of water. However, there is a bar at the car park that sells drinks, pizzas, sandwiches, and local fruits at honest prices. We even bought some peaches and apricots from their land on our way back home, and they were delicious! The beach has breathtaking green water and a white sandy beach. The best times to enjoy the colors are early morning up to 12 and sunset time from 6pm. The car park closes at 9pm, so be sure to return on time. The walk to the beach is about 2km and takes about 30 minutes. The path is easy for the most part, but there is a steep hill on the way back that requires some effort. However, the majority of the path is shaded by trees, which helps to keep you cool. This is a wild beach, so don't expect to pay for umbrellas or sunbeds. We loved our visit and plan to return at the end of September when it's not as crowded.

This beach offers a gradual entry into the sea, with some areas being more accessible than others. However, the overall experience is delightful as the water is only 60-100 cm deep about 1-2 meters from the shore, making it perfect for small children to enjoy. The beach itself is sandy with a pebble belt, and the bottom is mostly sandy. There are plenty of umbrellas and sunbeds available, as well as cabins, toilets, and refreshments on the beach. The water is warm and refreshing, making it a perfect spot to cool off during hot summer days. Refreshments such as sprite and Algida ice cream are available for 2-3€, while food is priced around 13€ and coffee at 1.20€. The beach is comfortable and popular among Italian visitors, making it an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture.
